I came across this video not too long ago: Joshua Prince-Ramus – of RE X and formerly of OMA – briefly describes his theory of architecture at the 2006 TED Conference.
It’s always difficult for me to explain to my friends who are not architects why architecture matters or what makes good architecture. While architecture may seem arbitrary, good architecture is not. And whether or not one agrees with Ramus’ theory or thinks that the end result is beautiful, there is a method to his madness and he explains his take well.
The Wyley Theater and the Museum Plaza where done in association with some of my fellow suits at Kendall-Heaton Associates.
